Abstract (en)

Provided are an apparatus and method for detecting a voiced sound and an unvoiced sound. The apparatus comprises: a blocking unit for dividing an input signal into block units; a parameter calculator for calculating a first parameter to determine the voiced sound and a second parameter to determine the unvoiced sound by using a slope and spectral flatness measure (SFM) of a mel-scaled filter bank spectrum of an input signal existing in a block; and a determiner for determining a voiced sound zone and an unvoiced sound zone in the block by comparing the first and second parameters to predetermined threshold values.
